II Duce Defies League
The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Ferdinand
Schaefer, will again give five concerts at the Murat, the first one
taking place on October 15. The
others are scheduled for November
19, January 14, February 18, and
March 24. The orchestra will also
play four programs for children as
lt does every year.
Six new members, men from the
Cincinnati orchestra, will be in the
company this season. Another addition to the program at one concert, will be a guest conductor, Mr.
Vladimir Bakaleinlkoff, who Is, incidentally, one of the greatest viola
players of the world. Certainly the
cultural life of Indianapolis is enriched by this organization.

Shortridge is surely well represented in many different colleges
throughout the central and eastern
portions of the country, and many
other high schools must be, too, to
judge from the high mark that
freshmen enrollments in the colleges have reached.
Our state follows the general
trend in this respect. This year at
DePauw, the freshman class contains 386 members, where last year
there were only 325. The enrollment is expected to reach 400 for
the first time in a number of years.
Purdue, with 4,437, had 1,800 freshmen alone. Indiana University
records were broken by an enrollment of 3956 students, whereas at
this time a year ago, only 3460 had
enrolled, and estimates are that including 900 students at Indianapolis,
a total of 5,500 will be reached.

Since Dictator Mussolini has
declared in ringing war-like tones,
broadcast to every corner of Europe,
that Italy is ready for war and is
firm in Its intention to conquer
Ethiopia, his country has responded
with unlimited enthusiasm to that
call. In fact, Emperor Selassie of
Ethiopia claims that Italy has already begun the invasion of his
country.
American Interest in this European crisis is naturally very great,
but predominant is the desire to
keep America from any participation in the war which now appears
inevitable.
According to several reports, thfe
Emperor wept when he complained
of the coming of II Duce's forceB.
It remains to be seen who weeps
last.

STUDENT COUNCIL SAYS
"COURTESY COUNTS"
Courtesy counts. It warms
the heart, bucks the ego, and
puts a rosy complexion on a
dull day. The Student Council
Bays so, and the Student Council
knows.
Last spring the Student Council visited the other high schools
of the city. Council members
were so Impressed by the courtesy they re.-elved that they determined thut. Shortridge should
Impress its visitors with the
same civilised deportment.
As a first step, the council
has voted to have one teacher,
(a different one each week)
chosen to notice outstanding
acts of courtesy in school. These
acts, with the names of those
who performed them, will be
printed in the Echo each Friday.

The Interview We Didn't Get
Opportunity knocked at the door,
but we opened It only half-way.
Yesterday we went down after school
was out, realizing that we were late
for our appointment with Dave
Appollon, director of the "International Varietien" Stage show. Nevertheless, we entered the stage door
and were Informed by the doorman
that as Apollon was in his dressing
room, and as the show was just
about to start, we would not get
our interview Although he had
said this, we sent in word to Apollon we were there, but were told
that the show was leaving town
for the Palace Theatre ln Akron
immediately after the act and that
his time would be occupied in packing. Making a brave struggle, we
asked if we might have an interview while he was dining at the
Chamber of Commerce. But again
we were disappointed.
We saw a gorgeous stage set being lowered into place, and about
forty girls, dressed In flowing
oriental gown?, dancing on the stage.
From the place where we stood,
we could hear the applause of the
audience. While we watched, the
Spanish dancer and his partner
came by, magnificently costumed.
The orchestra, composed of Hawai-
ians, was rhvmthmically playing
"I'm in the Mood for Love".
Even If we didn't get a personal
Interview with Dave Apollon, we
saw his "International Varieties".
BLUE DEVILS TANGLE
WITH CATHEDRAL AT
BUTLER BOWL TODAY
Unbeaten Blue and White Squad
Is In Top Condition For
Game With Irish
With the scalps of the Southport
Cardinals firmly fastened In their
belts, the Shortridge gridmen will
attempt to make it two victories in
a week when they tackle the Fighting Irish of Cathedral this afternoon at the Butler Bowl. The same
fighting spirit which was displayed
in Monday's tussle will be the center
of the Blue Devil's attack in an
effort to overcome Cathedral's
powerful grid machine.
The Irish squad, which is captained by Jim McNamara, has
emerged victorious in two of their
three games played this year. Elwood and Shelbyville both suffered
defeat at the hands of the Blue
and Gold, while Noblesville gave
them a sound thumping- Monday
night. Coach Joe Deinhart has been
smoothing out the mistakes made
in the encounter with Noblesville,
and believes the Irish will' give
Shortridge a run for their money.
Coach Nipper has been improving
the Blue and White squad, and they
are in top shape for today's encounter. Isley however, will be on
